If installed within a heated space, during the heating season, yes. But they also lower the cooling load in the cooling season as well. So depending on the fuel source for heating and the load balance, it may or may not have a negative effect on the heating costs.

A geo unit has a much higher energy factor but also costs 10 times more. These air source heat pumps are sort of a low cost stand-alone option. Obviously if the HO is already going to do a geothermal system the an air source unit would not make sense as they could tie into the geo unit for their DHW production.

You can get the GE one cheaper at Barnett than you can at blowes. They are pretty neat and all but theres not a lot of room for profit in them and the ROI is better on solar and most tankless. Im sure they have their place though.

GE has called us twice to see if we had any calls asking about these and if we would be intrested in being a dealer.
We have not had any calls and I can't see any advantage as we were to stock the heaters @ $900 each and retail for about $1200. The disadvantage I see to the heaters is that you would be required to have an HVAC and/or EPA license to work on the heat pump portion.

anything new? We had the AO Smith High Efficiency Revolution Tour bus swing by our shop last night, and they claim that the Voltex is the most efficient thing on the bus. Anybody install one yet? or had to work on one? Thinking about getting one for our house to replace our L.P.40/40
